Abstract

A braided-wire sheathing for high pressure hose or the like composed of interwoven bundles of high tensile strength wire. Within each bundle, the longer wires are twisted helically about the shorter wires such that all of the wires are under substantially equal tension. The interwoven bundles are grouped in pairs in a two-over, two-under pattern, the two bundles in each pair being twisted in opposing rotational directions.
